John 15:26 βBut when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.β
As we continue our conversation about Pentecost, we are reminded that Jesus sent us a Helper as our Guide in the form of the Holy Spirit. Does this mean we will not encounter any hardships or hard decisions to make? Sorry, life doesnβt work that way. But what it does mean is that you have, if you choose to listen, a Helper on your side who cares about you and wants to keep you on the path of righteousness.
Oddly enough, it is very easy to forget that God is always working in our lives. If you take the time to include God in your decisions, you give the Holy Spirit some time to inject the correct course to your thinking. The job of the Holy Spirit? Help you keep the faith.
Remember, God is still on the throne and Jesus is still your Savior. Just in case you needed to hear that today. Glory and power to God in the highest.
Something else very important to remember. God does not go anywhere uninvited. The invitation is a very formal request. Seek him and he will never leave you or forsake you, in every situation. Engage with the Holy Spirit during times of worship if you really want to feel God move in your life. The more you understand God, the easier it will be for you to understand the purpose He has for you.
Pray today and ask the Holy Spirit to be your Helper. Seek him in all things and in every way. Repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness. Trust in the Holy Spirit to show you the way.
